Nutrition Management Strategies for the Adaptation of Cull Beef Heifers to Feedlot

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
Providing diets with high roughage in the first days of confinement is the common way of adapting beef cattle to intensive production. However, it is possible to offer the final finishing diet from the first day of adaptation. Our objective was to compare a traditional adaptation protocol, in which animals received a diet with a higher proportion of ...

Heteroskedasticity for weaning weight of Charolais-Zebu crossbred calves

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2012
The objective of the present study was to analyze models with genetic and/or residual heteroskedasticity for genetic evaluation of the weaning weight of Charolais-Zebu crossbred calves. Weaning weight data from 56,965 crossbred calves were analyzed using

Study of Genetic Progress in the Context of Disconnection Between Two Originally Connected Populations

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 1, Page 24-34, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic progress of breeding programs is highly dependent on the size of reference populations and the relatedness between reference populations and selection candidates. Many reasons can lead a population to split into several subpopulations (sanitary, physiological, political reasons, etc.).

Genetic Heterogeneity of Residual Variance for Foot Score Traits in American Angus Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 1, Page 68-78, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Foot conformation is one of the main breeding goals in recent beef cattle breeding programs because it directly affects productivity, economic losses, animal welfare and longevity. Genetic heterogeneity of residual variance can be used to improve production uniformity in animal breeding programs because recent studies have shown that residual ...

Comparative Analysis of Recursive and Alternative Modelling Approaches Considering Body Condition Score for Genetic Evaluation of Mature Cow Weight

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 1, Page 92-104, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Mature cow size, often defined by mature cow weight (MWT), height (MHT) and body condition score (BCS), is crucial to cow‐calf profitability, maintenance efficiency and reproductive performance. Although MWT and MHT are often included in national cattle evaluations by many breed organisations, BCS adjustments are applied less consistently ...

The Maternal Blood Transcriptome Reflects Changes in Fetal Growth and Is an Accurate Predictor of Birth Weight in Cattle

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 21, 15 November 2025.
A bioinformatics approach demonstrated that the maternal blood transcriptome changes throughout gestation, with coexpression clustering indicating interferon responses early on, oxidative phosphorylation mid‐gestation, and immune pathways later in pregnancy.

Genetic group and heterosis on morphometric measurements during the growth of male beef cattle

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2016
In the present study, the effects of genetic group and heterosis on body measurements of purebreds (Charolais - C and Nellore - N), first-generation crossbreds (G1) (1/2C1/2N and 1/2N1/2C), and second-generation crossbreds (G2) (3/4C1/4N and 3/4N1/4C ...
